Group Visits


Scholarships

Scholarship visits to the Bay Area Discovery Museum are available from October 1 through February 29.

Admission Scholarships

The Museum’s admission scholarship program offers reduced-price visits for schools serving a population where 75% or more of the students qualify for free and reduced-price lunch. Applications for admission scholarships are accepted from September 4 to February 29.

Bus Scholarships

Scholarships are also available for bus transportation to and from the Museum for schools that serve a population where 90% or more qualify for free and reduced-price lunch. To accommodate as many schools as possible, schools are limited to two free buses per year. Buses may carry more than one class – please coordinate visits to take full advantage. Preference will be given to schools that did not receive a bus scholarship last year.

Bus scholarship applications are accepted beginning on September 17.
